The more I ponder this pick, the more mysterious it seems. If they really, really, really loved this guy, you'd think they'd have grabbed him with their #41, instead of trading back with N.O. You couldn't be 100% sure he'd still be there. Yet they also did not trade up to get DeJean, as it seems they could have done, if DeJean was that much more desirable. Maybe they didn't want to lose out on Edgerrin Cooper, or one someone else that they had ranked worthy of a #45 pick. They must've had a list of maybe four guys they liked about equally well, Edgerrin Cooper being one of them.

I just hope he kicks ass and doesn't get hurt due to his weight. I do enjoy the prospect of seeing him fly around and hit people, and maybe cover a tad better than Devondre Campbell.
